About

I'm Sam, and I received my undergraduate degree at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a part of the class of 2014. I typically play "classical music" as a part of chamber ensembles, orchestras. I also enjoy being in a pit orchestra for a musical, ballet, or an opera. I love playing with different kinds of ensembles, and in different concert settings. I believe that's part of what keeps music fresh.
